Friend or Foe?
Disclaimer: Again I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters, with the exception of Kara.
Chapter 2 - The Malfoys.
"Well that must have been exciting." Kara said to Harry with a mocking smile.
"Yeah right!" Harry whispered back at her as they all made their way through the crowd awaiting Gildroy Lockhart's autograph. Just as they reached the door a sneering voice called at them from behind.
"Bet you loved that. Famous Harry Potter always making the front page." Draco sneered. Kara lowered her eyes to the floor and felt someone move closer to her.
"Leave him alone." Ginny said her eyes narrowed with hate.
"Oh, so Potter's got himself a girlfriend does he? And it also seems that he got himself a new admirer. Another muggle Pot..."
Draco's eyes widened slightly at the sight of Kara and he stopped in mid sentence. Kara felt an arm slide over her shoulder protectively. Avoiding Draco's gaze she looked up and gave George a wavering smile.
"Now, now Draco, play nicely."
Kara looked up and to her horror saw Lucius Malfoy standing directly behind Draco.
"Mr Potter and you must be Miss Granger, Draco's told me all about you and your parents. And you," Lucius said malevolently, turning to the Weasleys and picking a book out of Ginny's cauldron. Looking it over and shoving it back into the cauldron, he said, "You must be the Weasleys."
His eyes fell upon Kara and she gulped silently. His eyes narrowed and his sneer faded.
"Kara what are you doing here. You know what your mother says about this sort of company. Come here this instant."
Kara's breathing quickened, but she wouldn't budge.
"I said come here girl!"
Kara moved slowly towards Mr. Malfoy, but did not dare look him in the eye. He pointed at the door with his cane.
"Out!" he sneered, as if daring her to disobey.
The knuckles of her hands were white. She started out the door, but chanced a glance at George and seeing his dumbstruck expression, quickly made her way into the busy street, Draco following her, and Lucius not far behind.
Mr. Malfoy soon caught up to her and seized her arm in a painful grasp.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to mingle with mud bloods or any wizards close to Dumbledore?"
"I'm sorry, it's just that..." Kara said with a small whimper her golden turquoise eyes filled with fear. They were brimming with tears.
"I don't want you around those kinds of people."
"Yes, but..."
"No buts, or ifs, of anything. Is that understood?" Lucius said grasping her arm even tighter.
"Yes, f-father." She said crying silently from the pain.
"Good. Come along Draco. We are going straight home!"
